OK, this is big news (well, big news for us at least). After a lot of very careful testing and tasting we're very excited to announce that this week sees the launch of our brand new cupcake menu, with over 36 (um, there's 37) brilliant flavours available for private orders and at our London cupcake stalls. I'll be running through them here on my little blog over the coming weeks, but suffice to say that they're all unbelievably awesome and we're super-pleased with each and every one of the little blighters.
As part of our development even old favourites such as our classic chocolate sponge were taken back to the drawing board and re-evaluated - a little buttermilk here, an sprinkling of Extra Brut Callebaut cocoa there - just to ensure they're as good as they can possibly be. From the simple flavours to the not so simple, every cupcake on our new menu is made with our customary care and attention and sticks rigidly to our own cupcake recipe rules, namely that it has to taste amazing, look pretty and contain absolutely nothing that you wouldn't want or expect to find in the best cake you've ever tasted. The raspberry in our Raspberry Ripple is made by reducing real raspberries with a little sugar, some organic Madagascan vanilla and a squeeze of lemon juice - nothing else. The cookie dough sitting proudly on top of our brilliant cookie dough cupcakes? We make that in house using a recipe we invented (to avoid the use for uncooked eggs, and also because it tastes amazing). How do we get our lavender caramel to taste of lavender-scented caramel? We use French organic lavender flowers, of course, and make each batch of caramel from scratch. Anyway... You get the idea.
To make it easier to try our new flavours we've introduced a new 'mixed flavour' option on our order form. Think of it as the chef's special selection (or even something less corny-sounding if you like) - tick that little box and we'll cram your order full of the best flavours we have available on any given day. Don't like nuts? Well, we use them in the kitchen, but tick the no-nut flavours option and we'll leave them out of your mixed box.
Some flavours have specific icing colours and even decorations - you can find out all about them on our new cupcake flavours page - and of course you can let us know when ordering how your cupcakes need to look and we'll work with you to make sure your cupcakes are perfect for your needs.
We're really excited by our new flavours and we hope you all enjoy discovering and devouring each and every one of them. As always we'd love to get your feedback so let us have it via email, twitter or our facebook page.
Ken and all at C&D
